Let's divide 369844 by 42
The aim is to understand the frequency of 42 in 369844.

On to step 1:
42 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 42

Advancing to step 2:
42 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 36, we get 36.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 42

Moving on to step 3:
The number 42 fits into 369 8 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 336 from 369 leaves us with 33.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 338 / 42

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 338 by 42, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtract 336 from 338 to get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 42

Step 5:
42 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 880.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 244 / 42

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 244 5 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8805.0
If we subtract 210 from 244, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 42 fits into 340 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8805.8
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 42, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 8805.8
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
42 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8805.809
Deduct 378 from 400 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 42 fits into 220 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8805.8095
If we take 210 away from 220, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 42 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8805.80952
If we subtract 84 from 100, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 42, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8805.809523
If we take 126 away from 160, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
42 can be fit into 340 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8805.8095238
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
42 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8805.8095238
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8805.8095238, and the remainder is 4e-08.
